Although an invester will enjoy many advantages from employing a property management company, there is also a cost associated with employing a property management company. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following factors to determine whether employing a property manager would be the best choice for your rental property. Ask yourself these questions:

Will you reside and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Westgate is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has plenty of military, diplomats, State Department, political appointees and academia. If you're getting transferred across the country or around the world, it might be a good idea to let a professional manage your rental. Even simple tasks can get complicated very quickly when you aren't around to manage the details.
Do you want to handle the details of rental property management? Some landlords enjoy the challenge of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some landlords believe that maintaining a property and managing workers is rewarding. Accordingly, they like taking late night calls. However, if you don't need more work, you may not want the work of managing your own rental property. If, you don't want the work from the day-to-day chores, you should probably think about hiring a property management company to manage your investment.
Do you want to manage your tenants? If you have tenants, with out a doubt you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your renters is satisfying. More importantly, if you're not a professional property management company, you can get in deep trouble quickly if you don't know the law. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is extra worries. For this reason, employing a property management company may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property manager is much more attractive choice if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll likely save money by paying a rental property manager and writing off the expense. But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to engage a rental property manager.
Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you understand the tenant's rights? Do you understand your responsibilities? The more you know about property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring an expert on your side.
Do you have maintenance people? Every investment must have upkeep. If your tenant get in touch withs for property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you may want to think about hiring a property manager.
